What you are forgetting is that this AI was definitely using game assets. This guy didn`t use some comic stile AI and tipped " Blond Girl in yellow shirt" and randomly got Cindy. And since Eva is buying Assets I can`t imagine the original artist is fine with AI reproducing his work or operates on any free to use licence (and even then almost all of them call for credit to the original creator)
I'm not against AI Pictures in general, I can see how they might help some writers break into the VN market without investing a more than they have into an artist. Although most of what we get from them is so generic even my dick falls asleep.
No I did not forget...also no Eva doesn't buy assets, they trace from porn especially blacked.com that's where they got most of their art. sure it's not as simple as trace 1to1 and then you get an Evakiss game there is way more that goes in to it.
The thing eva pays for is someone coloring in the CGS for the game.
I don't know what asset eva does pays for if any, maybe the dicks, a few of them are the same but different skin tone.
I also don't know what has changed with their process since gggb where they were "exposed" for tracing from porn.
But I didn't care about the tracing and I don't care about the AI. Obviously they are using AI to get Cindy, that's the character they are using for this story. Every other character that isn't from ORS they are not stealing.
